EA just killed Bioware and the next Mass Effect, in development since at least six years. "Around 50 staff had been working on a new Mass Effect that is now canceled." This period is a never-ending nightmare.

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

β€œOver the past several months, we’ve taken a hard look at our business” and will cut some projects, including the next Mass Effect game, which was in early development at BioWare." Wait, what? Early development? I started my coverage on the next Mass Effect on November 7, 2020. So it was rebooted?

Mass Effect 5 "A core team at BioWare is developing the next Mass Effect game under the leadership of veterans from the original trilogy, including Mike Gamble, Preston Watamaniuk, Derek Watts, Parrish Ley (...) Given this stage of development, we don’t require support from the full studio."

They killed the studio that gave me some of the most beautiful moments in sci-fi video games: Knights of the Old Republic and the Mass Effect series. I can't thank those who worked on these games over the years enough.
